Bleach (sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl) is produced by the reaction of a sodium hydroxide solution with chlorine gas. Water and NaCl are also produced in the reaction.
1.75 liters of a 45% NaOH solution (S.G = 1.478) is
reacted with 275 liters of gaseous Cl2 (at STP). The product is
analyzed and it is determined that 618 g of NaOCl was formed.
Determine:
The limiting reactant.
The percent excess of the excess reactant, if any.
The conversion.
The yield of NaOCl.
